Okay… got this idea this morning. So… I'm writing it now so I don't forget… please note how I format the thoughts for Bonnie… I know that at least one person will be confused, so I'm just saying that ahead of time.
"Bonnie?" her friend Amanda said to her, as Bonnie's expression faltered. "Are you okay?"
"Huh? Sure…"
"Then… what are you looking at?"
"It's just… nothing…" Bonnie said, and walked across the room.
She sat down at the counter. She was at her friend's party, trying to unload some stress. When she heard a familiar laugh from her right. She looked over, and the laughing person turned to her.
"Bonnie…" he said. "How are you doing?"
(Is this what you call tact?) Bonnie thought. "Fine," she responded. "What about you?"
"I feel like crap," he responded. (You should…) "But… I'm doing better. I uh… took your advice…"
"That's good to hear," Bonnie replied…
…Phil sat in his house, and jammed the Giggle onto his head. "Search Keely Teslow's husband, 2030..." Phil saw no risk in looking at this information now, since he figured that he wouldn't be the lucky man.

Phil frowned. "Search Keely Teslow, 2030."

Phil set down the Giggle, rubbing his eyes… surely that was a dream, right?…unfortunately, he knew it wasn't a dream he could chance. He hopped to his feet, and ran out the door.
(Let's end this conversation…)
"Anyway," George said, looking at his watch, "I guess I should be going…"
(Have another drink and drive yourself home) Bonnie thought.
George left the house, and hopped into his car.
I hope there's ice on all the roads…
Keely walked down the sidewalk. Phil had told her to meet at his house.
"Looking at my own reflection/ When suddenly it changes/ Violently, it changes…" Keely sang quietly to herself, as she hobbled along the path, as George started his car, as Bonnie (And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt…) rested her head on her friend's kitchen counter, and as Phil walked out his front door.
She took a piece of paper out of her pocket, wondering what paper was doing in her hoodie. She discovered that it was Via's address.
When a drop fell onto the paper, Keely looked up. She had almost thought that she'd been crying for some reason, when more raindrops began to fall on her face.
"Great…" Keely muttered, nonchalantly taking a pill. "Rain is just what I need…"
Phil tried Keely on his cell phone-- no service. He started the car, which miraculously didn't stall, and drove out the driveway. He just had to find her… he'd been wondering for a long time why he had come to the 21st century. He figured he knew now.
After all, Keely had said that maybe it was meant to be that he came to the present.
Phil looked down the left to Banner Drive, and saw a figure walking in the distance, whom he recognized as Keely. Breathing a sigh of relief, he signaled.
Keely saw Phil's car off in the distance, and refrained from crossing the street.
Just as she brought her foot back onto the sidewalk, a car came whizzing by her, missing her by maybe three feet.
Phil tried to get out of the way of the speeding vehicle, but it crashed into Phil's right side.
(And again when your head goes through the windshield…)
Keely screamed, and made her way to the collision.
The driver door of Phil's sedan popped open, and Phil slowly got out.
"Are you okay, Phil?" Keely asked, her voice full of worry.
"I think so," Phil said. He walked to the driver's side of the car that crashed into him.
"That car would've hit me, Phil," Keely said, as he made his way over there. "It came out of nowhere… I saw you coming, so I stopped. Then it sped by…"
"The important thing is that you're okay," Phil said to her.
Phil opened the door, and Keely nearly dropped her cane.
(Best friends means you get what you deserve!)
He was dead. They knew that much. His head and shoulders broke through the safety glass in the front, his body slumped against the steering wheel.
Keely looked on without pity… perhaps even smiling a bit.
The police showed up ten minutes later.
